Your post invited me to have a look at the /var/log/messages on my Linux
Box. I saw that kdm couldn't map the IP to the hostname of my XP box. I made
a corresponding entry in /etc/hosts... 

Et voilà! IT'S WORKING!!!

Thanks a lot Chris. You put me on the right path. The solaris 9 box is also
working (I had the same problem as on the Linux box). 

It's really great ;-D 
Loïc.
